TriggersLying Down, After exercise, After large meals, cooking with lots of herbs, spices,sitting for long periods of time.
PreventionsLying on Right Side, Exercise - when Afib PACs / PVCs start,
Current medications/side effectsFlecanide 50mg X2/ day- However, does not always prevent all episodes - certain break through episodes - usually with a faster Ventrical response - have noticed 220BPM on an ECG when in AFIB w/ Flec.

Flec "on demand" ALWAYS works. 50mg chewed with Pedialite will convert 100% of the time 1-2hrs tops.

Other side effects of Flec - Some chest pain, lack of energy, vision - but, at the lower dose, one adjusts to it.
Past medications/side effectsBeta Blocker- Toprol XL - 50mg / day.
Caused more Afib then it prevented - low low BP, really low HR. Episodes were not noticably more controlled then w/o any med,.

Did not like the lack of energy and breathless response. Also - some feeling of "weezing" on deep breaths.
History of surgeryNone
Future plansPossible Ablation PVI, etc.
Concerned about stenosis
